What’s the Real Reason for Trump Playing Nice w/ Newsom?

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) President Trump said during an epic interview with Tucker Carlson that he would not attack California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, because Newsom flattered him; but suspicions have surface that the real reason might be related to Don Jr.’s engagement to Newsom’s ex-wife.

Trump shocked Carlson by describing his relationship with Newsom as chummy.

“I used to get along great with him when I was president. Got along really good … Gavin,” Trump said.

“You got along with Gavin Newsom?” Carlson asked.

“I did. I really did,” President Trump affirmed. “He was always very nice to me, said the greatest things. He would say things like, ‘He’s doing a great job.’”

Carlson, still stunned, didn’t believe the president.

“About you?” he asked.

“About me,” Trump confirmed. “That’s why I could never hit him because he was so nice to me, just laying in wait right? But he was very nice to me, relatively speaking.”

Trump even offered some mild praise, followed by an attack, of Newsom when discussing potential Democrat candidates in the same interview.

“You have a very ambitious guy in California,” he said, “but he’s done a terrible job with the state.”

Newsom has heaped praise on Trump for his emergency relief and honesty, according to RedState.

“He [President Trump] said everything I could have hoped for,” Newsom said. “And we had a very long conversation and every single thing he said, they followed through on.”

Another explanation for the odd pairing of Trump and Newsom is a political love triangle between the radical leftist and the Trump family.

Kimberly Guilfoyle married Gavin Newsom in 2001, and got divorced in 2005, according to Newsweek. Guilfoyle is now engaged to Donald Trump Jr, per her Instagram post. Thus, the Trump/Newsom love fest could be explained by Trump’s need to not anger his future daughter-in-law.

As the Trump/Newsom ceasefire continues, Newsom is engaged in a bitter feud with Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, according to Politico.

Starboard Purchases Parler, App Shuts Down Temporarily

Starboard Purchases Parler, App Shuts Down Temporarily

(Corine Gatti, Headline USA) Starboard, formerly known as Olympic Media, announced Friday that it has successfully acquired free-speech social network Parler from parent company Parlement Technologies Inc., after the deal with Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, failed.

“Parler’s large user base and additional strategic assets represent an enormous opportunity for Starboard to continue to build aggressively in our media and publishing business,” Ryan Coyne, CEO of Starboard, told the Wall Street Journal. “The team at Parler has built an exceptional audience and we look forward to integrating that audience across all of our existing platforms.”

The purchase also will give Starboard a chance to serve “unsupported online communities by building a home for them away from the ad hoc regulatory hand of platforms that hate them,” Coyne added. “It’s going to take a breath of fresh air.”

In order to properly assess its strategic value and the potential opportunities to serve marginalized or censored communities, “the app will be pulled down from operations,” said a press release. 

Starboard was founded in 2018 and the company publishes websites that include the conservative leaning BizPac Review and American Wire News.

When Parler was founded in 2018, it quickly made a name for itself as a free speech alternative to the heavily censored platform Twitter and Facebook. It quickly became a platform of choice for a number of different individuals and groups, with the most vocal user base coming from conservative commentators like Alex Jones.

Parler has been steadily gaining momentum with more than 250,000 monthly users as of March 2021. Though it’s still a fraction of the monthly user numbers of other popular social networks, such as Facebook and TikTok, the steady growth shows that Parler is on the rise.

George Farmer, the CEO of Parler, will be stepping down from his role and handing the reigns to Igor Shalkevich, the current Chief Development Officer of Parler.

Biden Plans to Spy on Chatrooms in Response to Pentagon Leaks

Biden Plans to Spy on Chatrooms in Response to Pentagon Leaks

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The Biden administration is reportedly responding to the recent Pentagon classified document leaks with plans to drastically increase government monitoring of chatrooms.

Citing an anonymous administration official and a congressional official who was briefed on the matter, NBC News reported Wednesday that the Biden White House is “looking at expanding the universe of online sites that intelligence agencies and law enforcement authorities track.”

NBC News also quoted former NSA top lawyer Glenn Gerstell, who claimed that “we do not have nor do we want a system where the United States government monitors private internet chats.”

U.S. laws prohibit searching private chatrooms preemptively and “scanning for classified documents,” Gerstell said, according to NBC News.

Other unnamed intelligence sources told NBC News about the legal barriers to an expanded federal surveillance program.

“If the administration tries to check online chatrooms more closely, it will have to navigate legal safeguards designed to protect Americans’ privacy and freedom of expression,” unnamed former intelligence officials reportedly said.

“Watching a public chatroom is fair game, but law enforcement agencies don’t have the legal authority to monitor a private online chatroom without probable cause, the former officials said.”

Biden’s reported plans to start spying on internet chatrooms follows Senators Mark Warner, D-Va., and John Thune, R-S.D., introducing the “Restrict Act,” which privacy advocates have warned is akin to the Patriot Act.

“If the RESTRICT Act becomes the RESTRICT law, any site that refuses to cooperate with future efforts by the US government to suppress certain stories and individuals on social media could find itself accused of working to advance the ‘strategic objectives of a foreign adversary,’” former congressman Ron Paul said of the proposal.

“Like the PATRIOT Act, the RESTRICT Act plays on people’s fears to make them silent while Congress takes away more of their liberty.”

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., warned that the two recent developments are part of a concerted effort to end the remaining internet freedom that still exists.

“The Biden admin is preparing to pass into law something like the Restrict Act, which will severely take away your online privacy rights and control over your own data,” she said. “Remember the FBI and Homeland already target Americans.”

Radical Leftist Boycotts Could Turn Fla. into Even More of a Utopia

Radical Leftist Boycotts Could Turn Fla. into Even More of a Utopia

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Several radical leftist groups have issued warnings about traveling or living in the increasingly red state of Florida.

An LGBT group issued its travel warning following recently-passed legislation in the state that criminalizes child sex-change surgeries and directs libraries to remove pornographic books from children’s sections, the Post Millennial reported.

The advisory warns of the “risks posed to the health, safety, and freedom of those considering short or long-term travel, or relocation to the state.”

Nadine Smith, Equality Florida executive director, said in a statement on the group’s website that the state is becoming less free.

“As an organization that has spent decades working to improve Florida’s reputation as a welcoming and inclusive place to live work and visit, it is with great sadness that we must respond to those asking if it is safe to travel to Florida or remain in the state as the laws strip away basic rights and freedoms,” she wrote.

“Parents who are selling their homes and moving because school censorship, book bans and health care restrictions have made their home state less safe for their children,” she gaslighted, misrepresenting much of the legislation the state has passed to protect kids and bolster parental rights.

Equality Florida also claimed that Gov. Ron DeSantis has weaponized state agencies to enact “extremist policies.”

Bryan Griffin, DeSantis’ press secretary, noted that the warning is nothing more than an attention-seeking attempt.

“We are not going to waste time worrying about political stunts, but we’ll continue doing what is right for Floridians,” Griffin said.

The Florida NAACP also announced a travel warning for its own state, and urged the national organization to do the same.

Specifically, the Florida NAACP claims that DeSantis and Florida Republicans have targeted black history education and DEI initiatives.

According to Yvette Lewis, the NAACP Hillsborough County Branch president, the state is at a “tipping point.”

There is, however, disagreement among those of the far Left.

Riché J. Daniel Barnes, an anthropology and African-American studies professor at the University of Florida, said that the policy will only serve to reinforce the state’s policies.

“If the people I came here to work with and build community with leave, which they have already started, I am encouraged to do so as well,” she said.

Nashville Florist Refuses RNC Event, Blames GOP for Anti-Christian Attack

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A Nashville-area florist refused to provide flowers for a Republican National Committee event, citing Republicans as the cause of the city’s recent Christian school shooting, despite the fact that it was committed by a transgender extremist.

The owners of the FLWR Shop in Belle Meade, Tennessee, said in a statement that they “immediately declined” to service the event, which will be attended by former President Donald Trump, among others, Fox News reported.

They have also spent their time telling others “in the Nashville event industry to say no to taking money or jobs from the Republican Party until they begin to make the changes to gun laws that most Americans are calling for.”

According to the owners, the RNC’s general pro-gun policy is to blame for the March 27 transgender terrorist attack at Covenant School, which killed three adults and three young children.

“At this moment, I cannot ignore the work the RNC has done to create this tragedy and so many others like it,” the owner said.

The Republican Party, they wrote, “makes this problem worse,” citing gun law changes in Tennessee and noting that it is a misguided party with the wrong priorities.

“The Republican Party has wasted taxpayer money and precious legislative will on banning drag shows, rather than assault rifles that are being used to murder children in their classrooms,” they added.

According to a report from The Blaze, the RNC event in question is probably the RNC Donor Retreat, which will include Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence and other big-name Republicans.

The owners ultimately concluded that, though they want to remain apolitical, the speakers involved at the event are beyond their “comfort level.”

“We have a lot of clients that are conservatives, and we respect their views and appreciate their business,” they wrote. “We feel like there is room in America for liberals, conservatives, and everyone in between. Unfortunately, this event and some of the speakers listed are beyond our comfort level.”

Pentagon Leaker: FBI Had Foreknowledge of Buffalo Shooting

Pentagon Leaker: FBI Had Foreknowledge of Buffalo Shooting

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) Along with myriad revelations about the war in Ukraine, the source of the leaked Pentagon documents also reportedly said that the FBI had foreknowledge of the May 2022 Buffalo mass shooting—a claim that may have some truth behind it.

The Washington Post first reported the allegation about the Buffalo shooting Wednesday, in a story about how the leaked Pentagon documents were uploaded to a Discord chatroom by an anonymous account called “OG.”

“OG told his online companions that the government hid horrible truths from the public. He claimed, according to the members, that the government knew in advance that a white supremacist intended to go on a shooting rampage at a Buffalo supermarket in May 2022,” the Post reported.

“OG said federal law enforcement officials let the killings proceed so they could argue for increased funding.”

The Post quoted an anonymous teenager who was in the Discord chatroom, who reportedly believed the information about the Buffalo shooting and “considers [it] an example of OG’s penetrating insights about the depth of government corruption.”

The Post, for its part, downplayed the allegation about the Buffalo shooting, which left 10 black people dead, as a “baseless notion.”

However, the Buffalo News reported in the wake of the shooting that the gunman, Payton Gendron, had been in touch with a “retired federal agent.”

According to The Buffalo News, the retired federal agent may have been one of at least six individuals who regularly communicated with Gendron in an online chat room where racist hatred was discussed.

These six individuals may have had about 30 minutes advance notice of the shooting spree, reports suggest.

“Agents from the FBI are in the process of tracking down and interviewing the six people, including the retired agent, and attempting to determine if any of them should be charged as accomplices,” the Buffalo News reported last May, citing two sources with close knowledge of the probe.

“Federal authorities are investigating if the retired agent provided information to Gendron before he went on his shooting spree,” the newspaper added. “In addition … federal authorities are looking into the former agent’s relationship to the shooter.”

It’s not clear how the Pentagon leaker—who the FBI claims is 21-year-old Massachusetts Air National Guard intelligence officer Jack Teixeira—would have knowledge of the FBI’s investigation into the Buffalo shooting. Perhaps he had seen the Buffalo News article, but the Post article does not say exactly what the Pentagon leaker said about the shooting, or when he said it.

Nevertheless, the information provided by the Pentagon leaker has thus far been accurate, and there are reports supporting his claims about the Buffalo shooting.

The FBI has declined to comment on the status of its investigation into Gendron’s connections to the retired agent.

Biden Energy Dept. Tranny Skates in Las Vegas Luggage-Theft Case

Biden Energy Dept. Tranny Skates in Las Vegas Luggage-Theft Case

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) President Joe Biden’s former Energy Department official, transgender Samuel Brinton, was caught on video stealing luggage at Harry Reid International Airport in Las Vegas last July.

A Nevada judge has now ordered that Brinton, who goes by the pronouns they/them, pay $3,670 to the victim. He was also given a suspended sentence of 180 days in prison after he pleaded “no contest,” the Daily Mail reported.

The suspended sentence means that Brinton is effectively off the hook for immediate jail or prison time, and will likely undergo a probationary period.

Brinton stole the bags from a woman who was travelling on July 6, 2022, from Dulles International Airport in Washington, D.C., to Las Vegas, though officials were unable to identify the suspect until months later.

Upon finding her luggage missing, she reported the matter to airport officials and filed a police report. They soon discovered that Brinton appeared on camera, acting in a strange manner.

According to the arrest warrant, an officer “observed several nonverbal cues, or body language anomalies, from the suspect, which caught his attention.”

“Specifically, Brinton pulled the victim’s luggage from the carousel and examined the tag. Then placed it back on the carousel, looking in all directions for anyone who might be watching or might approach,” the report continued, noting that Brinton could be seen “pulling [the luggage] back off the carousel and demonstrating the same behavior by looking around before walking away with it quickly.”

Between the cost of the luggage and its contents, Brinton stole over $3,000 of goods from the woman, including jewelry, makeup and clothing.

The case remained unresolved until they were able to identify Brinton as the suspect of another luggage theft in September at the Minneapolois-St. Paul International Airport.

The second case is ongoing.

If the former bureaucrat is found guilty, Brinton could face up to five years in prison and/or a $10,000 fine.

American Airlines later confirmed that Brinton had not checked a suitcase for the flight.

O’Keefe: Dangerous Transgender Male Inmates Housed in Women’s Prison

O’Keefe: Dangerous Transgender Male Inmates Housed in Women’s Prison

(Robert Jonathan, Headline USA)  Literal insider video posted to social media by the O’Keefe Media Group suggests that manipulative male prisoners identifying as women are gaming the system to get incarcerated in a women’s jail.

The consequences of which are ominous.

According to controversial muckraker journalist James O’Keefe, (who, in fact, authored a book called American Muckraker), the Washington Corrections Center for Women “has been the tip of the spear with inclusivity of the prison system.”

The corrections department in Washington state caters to the transgender community, a purported female prisoner claimed in the concealed-identity footage.

Making the diversity policy dangerous, “some of these men know that they’re men; they’re not trying to be a woman. They just say that to come here to have sex with women during their prison sentences,” she explained in the interview.

She asserted that “We have men rapists, men murderers, child rapists, men who have killed women and are in prison for raping and killing women, who get put in our rooms.”

Male and female prisoners engaging in sexual relations allegedly includes assaults that go unreported, she added.

According to a second woman in the video interview, some of the transgender inmates contemplate a strategy for impregnating a female counterpart, and it’s not clear if this scenario would be consensual or nonconsensual, but would enable the female to claim she was raped in a liability lawsuit filed against WCCW.

“He’s pretty much the mastermind behind his own scandal,” she said about the scheme.

In jail slang, the cash grab is called a “million-dollar baby.”

With the ratification of far-left gender ideology, corrections officials are apparently indifferent or worse over the concerns of female prisoners who are understandably apprehensive about their personal safety, the second inmate implied.

Officials in the Democrat-controlled state did not respond to OMG’s request for comment.

O’Keefe, the former Project Veritas boss, insinuated that crowed-sourcing by the “citizen journalist OMG army” might result in administrators responding to inquiries.

On March 31, 2022, Democrat Gov. Jay Inslee signed a bill that prevents public disclosure of how many biological males are being housed in women’s facilities.

“We wrestled over the decision to do this story,” O’Keefe admitted about the new video featuring the two jailhouse interviewees. “It was a painful and difficult one because despite our best efforts, the possibility of retaliation always exists. But the thought of letting this continue and allowing women who are confined to be raped with impunity was unconscionable to us. And the women themselves, knowing the risks, agreed to let their interviews be used.”

Late last month, in its first investigation since O’Keefe launched his new organization, OMG uncovered an alleged identity-theft, money-laundering operation by Democrat campaign donation aggregator ActBlue.

Bud Light Execs Backpedal after $6B Loss as Joe Rogan Defends Transgender Marketing

Bud Light Execs Backpedal after $6B Loss as Joe Rogan Defends Transgender Marketing

(Dmytro “Henry” Aleksandrov, Headline USA) With conservative-driven boycotts of Bud Light beginning to eat into the company’s profit margin, top executives appeared to backpedal on the decision to partner with transgender social-media personality Dylan Mulvaney as a brand spokesman.

“Some low-level marketing staffer who helps manage the hundreds of influencer engagements they do must have thought it was no big deal,” an unnamed source told the Daily Wire, as reported by the Daily Caller.

“Obviously it was, and it’s a shame because they have a well-earned reputation for just being America’s beer—not a political company,” the source added. “It was a mistake.”

However, the damage already appeared to have been done—and the backpedaling, too little, too late for some consumers.

Anheuser–Busch InBev, parent company of Bud Light, has lost more than $6 billion in market value in the two weeks since Mulvaney announced the Bud Light deal, according to Breitbart.

Shares of the company have dropped nearly 5%, wiping out $6.65 billion of the company’s market capitalization, while many bars and distributors have reported a negative impact as well.

However, some trusted voices in conservative media, such as red-pilled libertarian Joe Rogan, were pushing back on the Right’s effort to cancel the iconic blue-collar brand.

On Wednesday, Rogan decided to defend the beer on his podcast while drinking Bud Light with his guest, comedian Sam Tallent, according to the Daily Wire.

“How is that the big deal? I think it’s goofy, because I think that person’s goofy,” he said, in reference to Mulvaney.

“But if you want to hire a goofy person, like, who gives a s***?” he continued. “It’s kind of hilarious. It was also just a can with that person’s face on it. That’s all it was. It wasn’t like something they were selling.”

Some Twitter users criticized Rogan’s position.

“Joe Rogan defended Bud Light. I mean I’ve only been calling this guy a flake for years (and getting crap for it) but hey… It’s cool to be right again, I suppose,” one Twitter user wrote.

Others suggested that Rogan was bought by the beer company.

“Looks like Bud Light dumped a s**tload of money into Joe Rogan’s bank account,” one Twitter user wrote.

Another user asked a rhetorical question.

“Why would we let the globalists throw their crap in our faces?”

Some people tried to explain why they boycott the brand.

“It’s the straw that broke the camel’s back and a lightning rod for all the feelings regular people have about the ‘you will respect us and give in to our demands or else’ nature of the trans movement,” one Twitter user wrote.

“It isn’t about the crappy beer. It’s about ALL of it and we’ve had enough.”

The rest suggested that Rogan either doesn’t care about how the current woke culture degrades womanhood or about cultural degradation itself.

‘LIARS!’: Conservatives React to DOJ’s Arrest of 21-Yr-Old Alleged Pentagon Leaker

‘LIARS!’: Conservatives React to DOJ’s Arrest of 21-Yr-Old Alleged Pentagon Leaker

(Luis Cornelio, Headline USA) Jack Teixeira, a 21-year-old member of the Massachusetts Air National Guard’s intelligence division, was arrested by FBI agents on Thursday for his alleged role in the leaking of U.S. intelligence classified documents on the internet.

The New York Times, along with other journalists, claimed it first identified Teixeira, whom they quickly labeled as a “Christian” man who loved “racist” memes. The Times reportedly relied on photos posted on social media, gaming profiles and other publicly available information to identify the suspect.

The DOJ’s delayed capture of the suspect and The Times’s role in identifying the suspect prompted conservative voices to criticize Biden officials.

“This guy was a Christian, anti-war, just wanted to inform some of his friends about what’s going on,” a person tied to the suspect told The Times. “We have some people in our group who are in Ukraine. We like fighting games, we like war games.”

“A 21-year old gamer might have just prevented WW3 and so of course the government and their media puppets are trying to paint him as some nefarious Russian double agent,” Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec tweeted mocking the Biden administration. “You got embarrassed by a kid, GAE Own it.”

Author Glenn Greenwald responded to the arrest raising doubts about the veracity of the suspect’s role. “Bellingcat, funded by the US Security State and the EU, worked with the NY Times to do the FBI’s work of finding the 21-year-old leaker of classified documents. They got ’em!,” Greenwald tweeted on Thursday. “This year’s FBI agent of the Year will be jointly awarded to the NYT, WPost and Bellingcat.”

“Say what you will about the Ukraine leaks, but a 21-year-old intel analyst just exposed Joe Biden and the entire woke military industrial complex as a propaganda riddled fraud,” conservative TV host Charlie Kirk tweeted. “LIARS!”.

CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings questioned why the 21-year-old had access to classified documents.

Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross responded to the arrest, calling it “insane.” “Just absolutely insane, if true, that a 21-year-old Air National Guardsman would have access to this kind of sensitive intel,” Ross tweeted. “And that the New York Times found him before the FBI.”

President Joe Biden had attempted to dismiss concerns that the leaks presented a national security threat to the U.S., claiming hours before the arrested that federal officials were getting “close.”

“There’s a full-blown investigation going on, as you know, with the intelligence community and the Justice Department [DOJ], and they’re getting close,” Biden told the press. “I’m not concerned about the leak. I’m concerned that it happened. But there’s nothing contemporaneous that I’m aware of that’s of great consequences.”

The U.S. intelligence documents were posted online last month and exposed details behind U.S. efforts in spying on Russia and other American allies, including South Korea and Israel, NBC News reported Thursday.

The FBI has yet to comment on how they were able to identify and/or if they relied on the Times to find the suspect.
